Chihuly-Inspired Balloon Sculptures
Morice, Erin
Arts & Activities, v145 n4 p14-15 May 2009
When the glass artist Dale Chihuly exhibited his work at the Missouri Botanical Garden, the author took a class of fourth-grade students to view the artist's extraordinary sculptures. Just as the author predicted, the students were in awe of Chihuly's organic three-dimensional sculptures. Before taking the field trip to the Missouri Botanical Garden, the students watched an exciting video called "Chihuly Over Venice," which allowed them to see Chihuly in action working as a team with fellow glassblowers. Students watched how quickly the glass had to be blown and manipulated before it hardened to the shape desired by the artist. This article presents an activity that allows students to create Chihuly-inspired sculptures. In this activity, the students use balloons to create art.
